Plans for a new playground! Our goal is to install a <br /> new and safe playground at Lincoln Elementary that will be enjoyed year round by the students at <br /> Lincoln and the Community of Elk River. <br /> Due to poor drainage and uneven grading of the field area, the playground and playing fields at <br /> Lincoln are inadequate and at times flooded beyond use. With the recent approval of the school <br /> referendum, we will soon begin to make improvements to the playing fields and make proper <br /> drainage improvements. This step alone will help improve the safety of our site. However, the <br /> playground equipment will have to be replaced with site improvements. Through the wear and tear <br /> of everyday use, the equipment will not withstand removal nor be reliable if reinstalled. <br /> We have modeled our playground design after the Rogers-Hassan City playground that was built at <br /> Rogers Elementary in the Spring of 2000.The Lincoln PTO is working in collaboration with Elk <br /> River Area School District#728 and community sponsors to secure enough funding to support this <br /> project. The drainage improvements and leveling of the playing fields will be funded through the <br /> referendum. The playground equipment and installation will be paid for with a collaborative effort. <br /> Can we count on the City of Elk River to join in the effort to build a new playground at Lincoln <br /> Elementary just as you have helped other elementary schools in our community? <br /> We are excited to move forward with our plans for a new playground and to make the necessary <br /> improvements to the playing fields. We hope the City of Elk River can help us reach our goal! <br /> If you have any questions or concerns please contact Donna Williams at 763/241-3480. Thank <br /> you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Lincoln Playground Committee <br /> a/44444_7i dit4„e4 j , , s <br /> Laura Filipovich Diane Priyatel <br /> Donna Williams � Heidi Adamson: P <br /> a <br /> Ieg ulie McChesney <br /> 0 TOGETHER ...
